To an extent yes, but individually I have much more nuanced interactions here with users. Whereas on Reddit I get dog piled by hundreds of black and white thinkers all circle jerking each other, making identical replies to my comments.
Here I often will get a deep thread with one user that's quite interesting, even if we disagree in many ways. It's also usually polite for the most part.
That's why I'm so happy HN has resisted the call to allow people to post images. You get the occasional link to that stick figure site but other than that posting here requires some minimal effort. Rate limiting all posters might be another way to increase the signal to noise ratio.
